    Is actually one of the greatest names. I would say that even if I didn't love their music.

    Asia.

    As far as I know (or can recall, at any rate), none of them were Asian.

    Rest In Peace - John Wetton (who I deeply admire)

    Here they are signing LP's at the legendary Texas Tapes 'N Records in South Houston. I used to go there to get concert tickets and LP's before moving to Austin in 1980. Image at link below. The real reason I listed them. ;)

    The band's name came from a resemblance, noted by a publican in Manchester, England, between Noone and Sherman in the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon. Sherman was shortened to Herman, and then became Herman and his Hermits, which was soon shortened to Herman's Hermits

    of Montreal.

    From Athens, Georgia.

    Even if they were from Montreal it would be a stupid name.

    com truise
    any nu metal band - limp bizkit, korn, alien ant farm, papa roach
    any (white) rapper (with face tattoos) whose name starts with "lil"
    r****ded elf - funny name in the 90's...unbookable name in the 2010's.
    black pu**y - funny name in 2015...unbookable name in 2016.
    any band that uses last name as their band name (EXCEPT VAN HALEN!) (edit: also except DIO)

    the problem is that at this point all the band names have been taken so we are seeing dumber and dumber nonsense names coming up. im sure others in bands can attest to this as well, but its getting really f***ing difficult to come up with decent names that havent already been taken.

    Oh, hell yes, Buck. Forgot about Russell Crowe's band. We saw them 18 years ago at Stubb's here in Austin, in August. Heck, we have a signed poster that we got at the outdoor concert that's hanging in our utility room. Russell spent as much time talking as he did singing (thank goodness!).
